Time to upgrade your Rims to 19"..235/45-19 easy to get..235/50-18 very odd size.

@ER-3682 not odd, just waiting for size availability for either PS5 or AS6... 

finally got them (PS5) at KimHoe yesterday...

I just got my Pilot Sport 5 from Yap brothers, 225/45/18 at $920. Kimhoe quoted me $1060.

The ride is very smooth now, I feel less vibrations from the road and lesser body roll around the bends. Also eliminated tyre spin when accelerating full power from a complete stop. The sidewall design is very appealing too!

No problem, will share how it fares after a while.

I meant the design of the sidewall. It looks nice / more attractive compared to the design of other tyres

@alphapunk2 I wonder why Tyre Mfg,no more making the Brand & Model names on sidewall with White Lettering,it will be even nicer.

used my PS5 for about 5k liao, fantastic wet and dry grip, surprised by the wet grip. Quiet and good steering response. No regrets, got 225/40/R18 at 185 / piece at arrow when I bought rims from them.

Mine is due especially the rear but still holding up well...cut through large puddle of water like butter...stable cornering on wet...was gearing towards F1A6 for a change but now more towards PS5 liao
